Bendire and Knight Canyons contain old roads that continue well beyond the BLM
barriers at the mouth of each canyon. Both canyons contain interesting mining
relics and quite an assortment of interesting plant life. Although Maturango
Peak is sometimes climbed from Bendire Canyon, climbing the peak requires
that one trespass onto military property and is obviously therefore an
illegal activity. The areas around the mouths of each canyon are also quite
interesting with the Panamint Crater being of special interest.
